Consoles:
PS4/PS5 & Xbox One & Series Anywhere & Nintendo Switch

No steam page yet? Interesting that they're releasing on steam day one again. Wonder if they'll do that for all their games again going forward or just for smaller ones.

@Sonkilary
It’s on UbiSoft Connect, Steam & Epic Games Store in terms of PC. There’s no GOG or Windows Store versions according to the press release. (The original is still available on GOG)

@Keebz
Epic Games recently changed the way they approach exclusivity, which seems to have resulted in fewer and more ‘targeted’ exclusives.
For UbiSoft games in particular, it seems to mean some games are not exclusive, or have significantly shorter exclusivity periods (eg. Avatar and Prince of Persia).

I'm a little worried by the new Art. Hopefully its toggle. It seems to have lost a lot of the soft look of the original.

I wonder if thats something the community can revert.

The original is broken on anything later than the RTX 4000 series GPUs unless you inject a translation to Vulcan. Modern cards either have visual corruption:

Or missing effects:

What we have here won't work with modern hardware forever and I'm worried about the history being lost (outside of Emualtors). Thats on top of the old one being delisted. Modern gamers won't have a way to play the game with art by the original artists with the original intent.

The new art isn't offensively bad or anything, but its a different angle in places for sure.

I have never been able to get the original to work right on modern systems. Like it'll play but the UI is all screwed up. I'm interested in this because I've heard good things about it but could never get it to behave correctly.

me too i have bad feeling about this 20th Anniversary Edition.

There is a suspicion that this all “20th Anniversary Edition” was invented in order to tie the game to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Ubisoft launcher.

did they make the AC3 remastered by replacing the excellent and perfectly working original, which was subsequently broken by a recent update instead of transferring Ezio's Collection from the PS4? which does not work well on modern PCs. Logic!

the game has achievements & trophies on PS2 PS4 PS5 & Xbox 360 One & Series so it should have them in PC STEAM version.

Would be nice only missing Trading Cards than. Weird Gallery 1 Min 23 Seconds with Rayman? Ubisoft (Splinter Cell/ Prince of Persia Remakes) go maybe to a Rayman 2 Great Escape/ 3 Hoodlum Havoc Remaster too?
